Introduction [1] The main goal of conventional agriculture is to maximize both production and income. Intercropping, the agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time, is an old and commonly used cropping practice that aims to match efficiently crop demands to the available growth resources and labor. The most common advantage of intercropping is the production of greater yield on a given piece of land by making more efficient use of the available...

Introduction [1] Wheat and barley are important strategic crops that constitute the staple food of the world population including Iranian people. Given the role of these crops in the household food basket, food safety and self-sufficiency in the production of these crops can be an important and valuable step towards economic independence. Increasing agricultural production due to the use of chemical inputs causes serious damage to the environment. Therefore, any plan and policy to increase...

Introduction [1] Water scarcity is the main challenging issue in supplying sufficient food in arid and semiarid regions. Agricultural production in Razavi Khorasan, like other arid and semiarid provinces, depends on underground water. Groundwater exploitation alongside climate change has dramatic effects on the availability of surface water for agricultural production in semiarid areas. Crop water use estimation is the first step to increasing Water Use Efficiency (WUE). From the water resource...

Introduction [1] Water shortage in spring for the cultivation of summer crops is a challenge for farmers in most parts of the country due to the fact that cultivation of these crops coincides with the one or two last irrigations needed for cereals during the critical stage of grain filling. Corn, sugar beet, and other summer crops are cultivated during such periods, and hence water allocation is normally problematic during this period. Relay cropping has been considered as a method to overcome...

Proper water management in rice fields plays a key role in the usefulness of other production inputs. One way to improve the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer application and reduce its losses is the simultaneous use of organic and biological fertilizers. Due to the conditions of Iran in terms of water...

Introduction [1] The incidence of drought periods and its continuity in arid and semi-arid areas is considered one of the factors affecting soil microbial population and activity and soil water content, and thus affect soil fertility and nutrient availability. Implementation of the straw checkerboard barrier technique in these areas as a cheap, effective, and easy technology has an important role in reviving soil microbial communities and desertification control . In the present study, the...

Introduction [1] Water deficit or drought stress is one of the critical abiotic stresses and limiting factors in the productivity of plants, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In these conditions, the nutrient use efficiency by plant decrease due to the lower mobility of these elements. The application of bio-fertilizers is one of the most important and sustainable strategies for soil fertility management and plant nutrition; in addition to reducing chemical pollution, improves plant...

Introduction [1] There are only a limited number of maps available regarding the distribution of agricultural and horticultural lands in the country. The existence of these maps can play an important role in various fields such as agricultural planning and development, climate change assessment, yield gap, and food security analysis, livestock production systems management, ecosystem service, fertilizer use management, agricultural optimal cropping pattern determination and other studies...

Introduction [1] Canola ( Brassica napus L.) is known as the third most important oil crop in the world and is now cultivated over a large area of the world's farms in rotation with various crops, especially cereals (Reddy and Redi, 2003). Simulation models are a useful tool for predicting crop responses to different environments. The CSM-CROPGRO model (Jones et al., 2003) was integrated into the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) for simulating spring rapeseed...

Introduction [1] Iranian shallot, scientifically known as Allium hirtifolium , is an important medicinal, edible, and industrial plant that grows in different regions of Iran, especially in the Central Zagros. Since this plant is harvested from its natural environment for consumption, it is necessary to cultivate and study various factors that affect its quantitative and qualitative yield, such as the use of sustainable agriculture. Additionally, genetic and environmental factors, as well as...

Introduction [1] Global warming has already been occurring in Iran and will probably continue during the 21st century. There has been an increased intensity and frequency of hot daytime temperatures in the last two decades in the country. Winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is the most important staple food crop in the country, with a total farming area of nearly 6.33 million ha and a production exceeding 14 million tons in 2017. Wheat production in Iran is an important component of national...
